Re: [cdi-dev] Tests on observer resolution

John, Sorry but it’s wrong. According to 10.2 in 1.1 spec [1] if you launch an event with @Added and @Book(Fiction) all the observers with a subset of these qualifiers (including empty set) will be called. Here that will be afterFictionBookAdded afterBookAdded onBookEvent As I told when I started this thread (please read the IRC transcript if you want to catch up the conversation), this is how it is supposed to work in the spec and hopefully this is how it works in OWB and Weld 1 and 2 according to the tests I created [2] before starting this thread. That brings 2 questions : - The role of @Any regarding Event<> and @Observes qualification (it seems totally useless) and the fact that event examples in the spec use @Any (that bring a lot of confusion especially regarding next point) - More generally the fact that event qualification work totally differently than standard qualification and that we don’t mention it anywhere. Ok you can guess it by reading carefully, but most CDI user I spoke with regarding this point made the mistake.
